Antibiotic cream versus the ointment heals faster.

Those Tegaderm sheets are fab. And CVS makes some that are thicker, and to me, more effective. Come in many sizes. Wish I'd realized I could buy them in bulk when I crashed a couple of years ago. They are pricey.

Also, the nets that keep bandages secured to your limbs help a lot.

And I love antimicrobial silver ointment. It's rather waterproof. Not completely, but works great.

Feel better.
I second everything said above. I crashed pretty nicely 3 weeks ago and made the mistake of trying to bandage with tape and gauze - now that I've found tergaderm sheets I'll never go back. I think they sped up my healing too. Make sure you cover even your most minor scrapes. I left one on my ankle open and it's taken 3x longer to heal.

At least you have an excuse to buy a new helmet now!
